The Heinrich Tunnel near Zweifall was operated from 1847 to 1866. The tunnel is located in the Bunten slates with conglomerates from the Gedinnian (Lower Devonian). The rocks are red and green, fine-sand siltstones that are schistose. Iron ore was mined. A small panel explains the ore mining and hammer mills in the region.

In 2002, local residents of Zweifall, in collaboration with the then Hürtgenwald Forestry Office, decided to find a home for proven, old sawmill technology. Instead of being scrapped, a frame saw and a band saw found a new home in what is now the museum sawmill at the Zweifall Forestry House. Two partners are collaborating on this project: the State Forest and Timber Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia - Regional Forestry Office Rureifel-Jülicher Börde, which is providing the land and the building, and the Zweifall Museum Sawmill Association, founded in the fall of 2008, which aims to provide financial support for the sawmill and demonstrate old sawmill technology to the public. Volunteers supervise the sawmill and demonstrate the saws. Source: https://www.ig-unserdorfzweifall.de/kultur/museumssägewerk/
